A47 Consultation Opens

15th March 2017

I was delighted after a long campaign, that the then Prime Minister came to Mid Norfolk in 2014 to unveil the Government’s landmark Road Investment Strategy, with £300m investment for improvements to the A47.

With dualling from Dereham to Norwich, we now have a chance to make Norfolk a hub of innovation with quick links to the Norwich Research Park, as well as helping make our roads safer for commuters and residents alike.

Our area is full of world-class businesses and opportunities – in engineering, science, energy, food and agriculture, wildlife, tourism, media and the arts. We have the chance to become one of the world-leading centres of research and innovation. As part of the group of Norfolk MPs working with the A47 Alliance, I know this has been a true team effort.

Today, Highways England have opened a six week public consultation. They have worked on four different options for the North Tuddenham to Easton section. Click here for full details.
